The video was posted on Facebook by Joe Weakland Jr., his father. His mother, Tricia Reed, had called police after her son ran away.

After another boy in the room asked why Weakland was being handcuffed, Weakland says something back, and the trooper then pulls him back by his arm and shirt, saying, "What did you say?"

After Weakland reportedly tells the trooper not to get in his face, he moves toward the trooper, and the trooper raises his right hand, which is holding a flashlight, and pushes the boy into a dresser.

State police in Hollidaysburg told the Altoona Mirror that the incident is the subject of an internal investigation.
